Oscar Pistorius is suffering from "major depression" that has developed since he killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, said a psychologist during the sentencing hearing Monday.

As a witness for the defense, psychologist Jonathan Scholtz said he recommends a community service sentence rather than prison time, which would not be "constructive" given Pistorius' mental state.
